Favourite Recipes of 2008
appetizers
Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion and Mission Fig Dip
This is an easy and really tasty appetizers that's made ahead and just heated up before serving. And did I mention it's really, really tasty! Perfect for any occasion.
bars and squares
Bitten Brownies
These are the perfect brownie in my opinion. They are perfectly chocolatey but not too sweet. They cut beautifully and are moist with just a slight crust. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar and enjoy. (Bonus: only one pan to wash up afterwards!)
Bread
Quick Cranberry Sunflower Seed No-Knead Bread I love this bread. It makes a larger than normal no-knead loaf and it's perfect for sandwiches and toast. I love that it's ready within the day, as well.
Eggs
Goat Cheese, Roasted Red Pepper and Baby Spinach Frittata
I can't count the number of times that this dish became dinner when time was tight. It's on the table in about 10 minutes, it's full of veggies and it's really, really tasty. With a side salad, it's the perfect quick and easy dinner.
main courses
Steak with Parmessan Butter and Balsamic Glaze We enjoyed this dish several times since I first found it on Epicurious, including serving it for a dinner party. It's simple to make, nice enough for company and the combination of flavours is fabulous!Chicken Breasts with Mustard and Tarragon
This dish is probably my favourite chicken breast dish. I just love the combination of mustard and tarragon and the creamy sauce is so satisfying. No, it's not low-cal but worth every calorie!
muffins
Butter Tart Muffins Simply put, these muffins are to die for! I like to use unsalted butter in these as the butter is just better. Spoon a teaspoon of maple syrup over each muffin and enjoy warm. Tip: Don't overbake these. They are best left a little moist.
Pasta
Pasta with Lemon and Asparagus
Don't let the lemon and pasta combination put you off. This is a great pasta dish, wonderfully light and fresh and a perfect spring/summer pasta dinner.
Pies
Apple Walnut Pie
My favourite pie of the last year is not actually a conventional pie. This pie features cut up apples with a walnut crust that comes together quickly and easily and is a nice change from a regular pie.
Soups
Cream of Mushroom Soup
I love the flavours in this soup and I also love that it's not overly creamy. Best of all, this soup doesn't need to simmer for hours. It can be on the table in about half an hour! Serve with some homemade croutons in it for a yummy lunch soup.
